Product Description And Additional Pictures

Quite recently, your Antiquarian sisters were sitting in one of those auction houses that have two or three auctions going on at the same time. Virtually every dealer at this event was following one of the two furniture auctions that were occurring simultaneously. We, frankly, were just so exhausted that we sat down to watch the box lots, which we assumed would be nothing but duds. How wrong we were, for this amazing and rare piece came up for auction! When the evening ended and we collected our treasures, we had a good half-dozen dealers trying to buy this lovely Vintage Pink Depression Glass Blossom Shaped Centerpiece Pedestal Bowl before we could leave the building! We are so pleased to be able to offer this Massive Vintage Pink Depression Glass Blossom Shaped Centerpiece Pedestal Bowl! Now mind you, this unique piece is not a compote. No, this is a huge bowl in the shape of a blossom -- we actually think it is a sunflower -- and it is mounted on a pedestal. We can tell from the seams, the occlusions, and the fit of the pedestal to the bowl that this is a bona fide piece of vintage pink Depression Glass.

The diameter of this large Vintage Pink Depression Glass Blossom Shaped Centerpiece Pedestal Bowl is 12-1/8" and it sits on a 5-1/2" diameter base. The pedestal or neck is in a lovely diamond block or optic pattern which creates the most amazing effect when you stare down into the Vintage Pink Depression Glass Blossom Shaped Centerpiece Pedestal Bowl: what you see are the petals of a flower with the diamond block pattern resembling the seeds at the center of a sunflower! Please examine our photographs, for in this case a picture IS worth a thousand words! Standing 5-1/2" high, this Vintage Pink Depression Glass Blossom Shaped Centerpiece Pedestal Bowl is in excellent condition given its age! There are some scratches in the interior of the Vintage Pink Depression Glass Blossom Shaped Centerpiece Pedestal Bowl, but there are - miraculously - no chips, no cracks, and no rough spots on this lovely piece.

This Vintage Pink Depression Glass Blossom Shaped Centerpiece Pedestal Bowl is much too large to go on a shelf or in your curio cabinet. But be prepared to give it a permanent home on your table, buffet, or some other prominent place in your house. It definitely demands attention!
